Have applied for Immigration with all the documents after receiving an assessment cleared from Sydney Office. I received a letter from LONDON office giving me the Application Number and to check for the Status online. I am regularly checking the status and every time it shows " Received by the Visa Office".

It had been mentioned in the letter as if we don't hear from the visa office within 8-10 months from the date of the letter as (11/08/2010) we can write back to them with query.

As I have Hired a consultant, who always tells me to wait as the LONDON visa office is loaded with application and it will take little longer. Now I am impatience, and wish to know why my application status is not changing to " IN PROCESS".

Can anyone clearly explain me the status of Recieved by Visa Office, does this mean they have not yet started looking at my application.

Shall I withdraw from the consultant and write directly to the LONDON VISA OFFICE


Thanks in Advance
 
There are lots of people here whose status is RBVO for a long time. Your consultant is right, be patient. Even at RBVO status, some applicants have received MR and then go to in process. Some people also go to IP first before MR. You can also send a case specific enquiry to VO. they might just send you a standard reply. Patience is the keyword here.
